Pranav,
Can you share a minimal example which uses all of the dependencies you
need? That would make it more clear where the parts of this build/patch
process are failing.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
I found your suggestion to use esbuild very helpful. I have spent
days using browserify, rollup etc with partial success, but esbuild
was very painless.
I have applied the sed patches too, as instructed. However the
resulting bundle still doesn't run in qjs. It says
SyntaxError: invalid use of 'super'
at ./commonListener.esbuild.js:5
But there is no super in line 5. line 5 through 10 defines __require
method. I have used --format=esm and --platform=node. Perhaps I should
use --platform=neutral? If i use neutral, then the requires of
'http', 'debug', 'fs', etc. It looks like I will still need to write c
modules for 'fs' and 'net' for qjs.
Thanks.

Jeremy, Jerry, guest271314,
Thanks for your inputs.
Jeremy, no I havent tried making esbuild, I will do that. I have
been trying to use browserify and other tools to bundle it all into
one file, since my nodejs app has many dependencies, including
mongoose, socketio and express to name a few. While that is still an
unsolved problem, that is not relevant to quickjs. I am working on
"minor patching" for mongoose to make a bundle that runs on nodejs
without any dependencies. I presume that it will also run on quickjs
if it runs on node (except for fs,path,net etc built-ins being
unavailable, needing more patching to replace with what does exist for
quickjs, as mentioned by guest271314). I did try parcel and rollup but
ran into some issues, I think my best bet is to tweak the source code
of mongoose etc and run browserify. I dont remember if I have tried
esbuild. My codebase uses commonJS requires, not es modules. Again,
bundling, while being a problem, is a different problem, I wouldn't
want to impose it on qjs community.
guest271314, thanks for the resources you have sent in the thread, I
will go through them. The answers you have given very patiently does
reflect that I hadn't done enough research about qjs on github before
asking. I am sorry for that.
I have seen the gwsocket solution, and I think it is good for a work
around. I do need websockets (with socketio wrapping) but it is not a
replacement for raw tcp sockets, but the gwsockets gives me an idea to
find something similar for tcp sockets. perhaps using netcat as a
server to receive tcp connections and invoking that via pipes to qjs
environment. I would still like native support for sockets because if
there are multiple clients to an os.exec("nc",...) invoked server then
i wont be able to maintain states of each client. I would instead like
to implement a c module to be included in the qjs build so that the
qjs runtime and qjsc will have a builtin module for tcp sockets. I
think the quickwebserver will be of help to me in this regard, I will
try to understand how it works and implement a C shared library to
provide tcp socket server and client. Perhaps filesystem ops can also
be done in this way.
It will take me a few days, perhaps weeks to make progress on this,
and i hope the results will be helpful to other people as well. Again,
thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
